You go around in the shopping arcades
And on those very grey days, you go take a look
At what they've got in store,
You can barely carry all the junk back home
And the advertisement shines so bright:
"Yes, what you see here is the latest model,
You should still buy it today
Soon they'll be gone, they're selling fast
And we even have the matching suit
Man, it really suits you well
You get two for the price of one,
Is that not a deal? Come one, wrap it up"
They fill you up with all their nonsense talk,
And suddenly shit shines like gold, just like gold
Yes, they smile at you, so charming,
Yet they're just messing around, messing around with you
And you know they're lying, yet you believe what they say
Yes, you know they're lying, yet you don't ask any question
You lie awake and stare at the wall,
And because you can' sleep at night,
You turn on the TV, you zap from channel to channel
The commercial shines in the brightest colours:
"You can get it if you act fast!
Just think about all you could save
The contract only lasts 24 years"
And on the quiz on the next channel,
The answer is easy, and yet no one calls in
Maybe you'll get rich, so just give it a call
Only 50 cents, you'll probably get through right away
They fill you up with all their nonsense talk,
And suddenly shit shines like gold, just like gold
Yes, they smile at you, so charming,
Yet they're just messing around, messing around with you
And you know they're lying, yet you believe what they say
Yes, you know they're lying, yet you don't ask any question
What you don't have, you need
What you have, you don't need anymore
What you don't need, you buy
And you buy and buy, always more
What you don't have, you need
What you have, you don't need anymore
What you don't need, you buy
And you buy and buy, always more
They fill you up with all their nonsense talk,
And suddenly shit shines like gold, just like gold
Yes, they smile at you, so charming,
Yet they're just messing around, messing around with you
And you know they're lying, yet you believe what they say
Yes, you know they're lying, yet you don't ask any question
